Bethany's Baby Babblings

I LEFT THE HOUSE WITH SQUIDGE FOR TWO HOURS AND DID SOME ERRANDS AND GOT THE BUS BACK AND IT WASN'T A DISASTER AND NO-ONE DIED!!! we did it! ecstatic mum and non-plussed daughter.

It's my daughter's Auntie Emma's birthday today. She would have been 29. Everything that has happened recently (my sister's death and my daughter's birth) has reminded me of the latest Cinderella remake. There's a lovely quote; I want to tell you a secret that will see you through all the trials that life can offer, have courage and be kind. If I only had two words to describe Emma it'd honestly be courageous and kind. And these are two traits I will teach my daughter (and myself) to be because Emma was/is amazing and if more people were kinder and braver then the world would be a wonderful place.
